Under Lock & Key

I know, I know. The key motif has been hot for a while and is cooling off now. But, I think it's important to look outside the box. The key and lock motif has been a staple throughout history since the dawn of time. But, like everything, it too has changed over time.

A set of 24k gold monogrammed wedding bands from Holy Harlot. The gold has been hand forged to resemble ancient Greek jewelry & has the feel of having just been uncovered in an ancient burial ground. Personally, I even think this would be fabulous as right hand or thumb rings as well!

Nowadays, we think outside of the traditional definitions. Locks have taken on more than just the function of securing your property. They now secure us in our jewels with new shapes and styles. The key too has grown from it's humble beginings as a way to open its corresponding lock to a representation of love.

The Borgioni 18K Gold & Diamond Handcuff Bracelet is another of my dream accessories, $6,900. I love the cheekiness of this lock bracelet & how perfect for someone in the law enforcement field! Or maybe even those with a little 'Fifty Shades' leanings...

And Here I Am.....

I grew up in a very artistic home with a deep appreciation for history. The history of our lineage, of the antiques we were surrounded by and the memories we were making. Every thing we touch tells a story of the people who came before us. The jewelry they wore is a huge part of these histories. And I am pleased to have the opportunity to touch and to be a part of these shared, jeweled stories.
